Bricked phone - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i just wanted to update my ParanoidAndroid ROM (i had 2.14 ver.) so i made a full wipe, installed new nightly, full wipe, installed gapps and installed hydracore kernel. When i was rebooting my phone i noticed it's just showing Galaxy Note on the screen and after that phone rebooted very fast. Finally i booted it into recovery (download mode does not work). Now, what should i do? I don't have a backup of my old ParanoidAndroid ROM, but i have only backup with my RocketRom (an old one). What should i do? I am affraid if i will exit from recovery, my phone will never wake up. Please, help me guys. Sorry for my English.

If you have nandroid backup of your rom then use it.and please in future whenever flash any rom.first backup efs and then nandroid then titanium

You're not bricked, the new pa roms have updated Mali chip drivers and no other kernel supports it so you have to stick with the stock kernel provided. Just reflash rom and use the kernel provided.

yes correct. Go back to the original PA kernel. flash the rom again it will be fine

Please edit the title of this thread!! The last thing that we need on Note forum is a brick bug hoax on safe kernels!!

[Q] Noob in Need. Note in NoDroidLand

Hello All,
I rooted for the first time my Note 2 weeks ago, just with the Basic CMW and proper root to my kernel. It worked fine, but I wanted more, so I decided to try RR by Eybee.
Downloaded the RR v20, passed it to my SD Card.
I wiped the phone through CMW.
Flashed the .zip file.
I'm now stuck on the initial loading screen of Rocket Rom, it just keeps restarting.
I know I ****ed up someway, and would really appreciate someone's help...
Ty
I hope you did a nandroid back up in recovery before you flashed? Because if you didn't you are indeed up creek without a paddle. It is always recommended to do a backup before you flash anything through recovery. If you didnt then go on you're computer download another rom to you're ad card go into recovery and flash it or get the original ruu rom and flash that.

No I have not.. I did full sys+data recovery through Titanium backup. I can't access CMW , to be honest I only did it through the phone itself... I can only access the Download Mode and tried to flash back the ROM I used to root the phone, which was useless.
Am I missing some really obvious way to access CMW without being able to initialize the phone?
...
Edited:
Found it:
Going to wipe, resintall root that worked and go from there ty.
Edited:
Reinstalled Rocket Rom through CMW (Up Vol+Power Button+Menu)
Wiped.
Reinstalled.

[Q] Phone won't boot after cleaning Cache+Dlavik on ICS.

Hey guys! First of all-sorry for being one of those people who post a question on thier first post.
I've been happily using TEAMHACKSUNG's ICS Build 15 for a couple of months with zero problem.
Restarted the phone a few hours ago in Recovery mode and cleared Cache+Dlavik Cache and after that, the phone couldn't boot. The Samsung screen shows first, then the CYANOGEN MOD screen, and Smasung again..in a loop.
Tried getting to Recovery mode, and nothing...same problem..
Download mode worked.
Please help me fix this situation. Hopfully without a full system wipe...\=
Thanks in advance! [=
Please help....I'm smartphone-less \=
Try flashing the rom again

I've flashed the stock CM7 Kernel and know I can get to recovery.
unfortunately, I don't have the rom's zip file on the internal card to flash it. I've managed to put the rom on the external sd card, but as it seems, there is no way to flash it through the external card.
I did a backup of my system thru CWM [don't have another one]. Thought of maybe flashing stock GB in odin, then CM7, then Teamhacksung's build 15, and then restore the backup I've just did.
Will it work or maybe there's a better idea?
Thanks!

I've flashed CM9 build 15 through all the instructions, with a couple of wipes in between...
Then, restored the nandroid backup and when all done-a weird colorful stripes appeared and nothing. So I installed Build 15 again and the phone booted!
Only problem now is for some reason, Messages aren't working, aswell as Facebook. And all my contacts gone [not a problem, but still-they were supposed to restore after the nandroid..]
Did I do something wrong? Can I fix the messages problem somehow?
Thanks in advance!

I had something like that once, i wiped factory+cache+dalvik recovered the nandroid backup and then reflashed the ICS build i wanted and it work alright...
every thing without leaving the recovery mode...
sounds long and annoying but it could work for you too...
Dude, download it http://ics.samsung-updates.com/trouble/FixRecovery.tar.md5 and flash it via odin at PDA , than go to recovery snd flash kernel again. And remember if u making a wipe at ics base rom, flash again kernel, its normal..

[Q] Flashing Team ICSSGS RC 4.2 on DarkyRom10.4.2

Hi,
I`m new in this forum and I have some questions.
I want to flash the Team ICSSGS RC4.2.
My phone:
Samsung Galaxy I9000
DarkyRom 10.4.2 (Android 2.3.6, Firmware: XWJW1, Modem I9000XXJVU, Kernel: Semaphore_JW1_2.4.0)
I haven't flashed my phone very often, so I want to be sure that everything is correct, because I'm a little bit afraid of damaging my phone:
I have downloaded the zip-file for RC 4.2 an put it on my internal sd-card (I can see it in cwm in the root directory).
Then I have made a backup in cwm of my current rom and of my apps with Titanium Backup.
My questions are:
Can I now boot into Recovery Mode and choose "install zip from sdcard" or do I have to consider something more / different?
Are there other necessary things to do after flashing?
I'm sorry if these questions have been asked bevore (certainly they've been), but I didn't find them in the forum.
Thanks for your help and your responses.
Go to CWM, then do wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache & dalvick cache.
And go !
Thanks for the answer.
One last question to be 100% sure: First reset and wipe and than flash the zip-file from the internal sdcard?
I'm sorry for these questions, but the other times I flashed with odin.

Yes, in this order
yes first wipe data/cache than install.
But it doesn't matter I once forgot to delete and when i installed rom some weird things started to happend(stuck in boot) than went again and delete files/reboot and i was good to go
Thank you very much; I think I will try it this evening or tomorrow.
I will give you a short response in the next days.
Don't forget to disable lagfix before you do anything !!
Happy flashing !
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
yeah disable lagfix i think.also backup your efs partition. its where your IMEI number and a few other bits are kept.also make a note of your IMEI.
when i flashed rc4.1 over darkyrom v10.4.2 i got a bootloop so i took the battery off and i wiped and flashed again.actually i had posted exactly what happened to me on the thread for ICS RC 4.2 so have a look at my post. Also i had lost my IMEI but no worries since i had taken a (2 actually) backups.

Thanks for your quick and helpful answers - I flashed it and everything is ok!!!!!

I was flashing RC 4.2 over Darky ROm 10.4.2. At first I had a boot loop, but then I wiped and re-flashed and now it's working.
Unfortunately, same thing happened to me - I lost the IMEI. Thankfully I did a tar.gz backup using terminal emulator.
What should I do at this stage? I mean my mobile's working fine. How do I restore my IMEI? Should I restore my IMEI?
Thanks!
but dont forget about one thing-if you areon Cyanogen based rom,you arent able to restore backup from clockworkmod(backup of samsung-based rom)! you will stuck in bootloop
Recommended this rom?

[Q] Using any Abyss Kernel 4.2 on criskelo v8. HELP!!!

Right going to try explain this as full as possible.
I flashed criskelo v8 from cassies xtraliterom x lc1.
I did the following:
went into cwm-based recovery v5.5.0.4
installed abysskernel4.2redtouch
rebooted back into recovery
full wiped (data, cache and delvik)
installed criskelo v8
rebooted sysytem
and wulaaa. It worked with the s note and all.
Then decided to restore apps using titanium back up.
So i went ahead and stupidly "restored all apps with data" instead of "restoring missing apps with data"
this inevitably made chaos and repeated force closes and what not :'(
so now i'm trying flash back to cassies xtralite rom and reinstall/flash back to this same criskelo rom.
Here lies the problem though.
Every time i try installing abyss kernel 4.2 red touch (ps. also tried abyss kernel 4.2 cw original), it stops at "installing update" and my galaxy note reboots the system itself not to the cwm recovery, but back onto the same rom.
This also happens if i try using CWM RECOVERY:
fully wiping all data cache and delvik
try flashing cassies xtralite rom
Stops at "formatting system and cache" for a while and reboots the system back onto the rom.
Ive also tried going on the cwm application
going down to kernel flash,
installing abyss kernel 4.2 red touch
Result >> "Kernal flash failed"... "no zImage was found"
Somebody HELP!!!! and please try explaining in full if you know whats going on.
Thank you for reading!!!.

That happened to me once i think the prob is your system back up on titanium is lc1 based. But criskelo is lq3... My advice is without any wipe just flash criskelo again... If success dont restore system apps just user apps...

Sorry can't explain in full story, since it was 3.17 am at my country. Need take some rest and wake up about 6.30am.
From what I'm reading here, you facing partial root after ugraded from xtralite to criskelo v8.
I won't explain why this will happened. . It was long long story, you gonna search and read yourself.
Solution.
- downgrade to stock gb rom by using pc odin.
- root the stock gb rom by using dr.ketan method ( credit to dr.ketan) thank to him.
- after rooted your stock rom, then flash abyss 4.2 kernel.
-boot into recovery and do full 3 wipes and flash your favourite ics custom rom.

Right whilst thats happening, whats your opnion on why my abyss kernel may not be installing, i mean only problem i could possibly come up with is because my battery life is under 20% lol or criskelo doesnt like abyss kernel lol.
Right its done the exact same thing, stopped at the note display on cwm and rebooted back onto the phone .
My main target is to get back my s premium suit with the s note and everything, which i had with this rom and lost after i accidentally restored all apps with data instead of the other option and secondly getting this abyss kernel to get working so i can return back to cassie xtralite rom hence return back to this rom and get this s premium suit.
Extra info:
1) After downgraded to stock gb rom you might having some fc close prob or bootloop issue in 1st reboot. Don't panic, just boot into stock recovery and do full wipe, then reboot again.
2) still have few methods can let you regain the full root. You can try to look into dr.ketan thread which you can update the supersu. Or flash the bsy box installer and super user 0.93.
3. I'm not the expertise, I'm just to give some little help only. You can always wait for a while and let see what the expertise saying. Don't rush. Don't do any factory reset in unsafe kernel. Don't do any nandroid restore as well.
Good luck mate.

You can restore your snote thru titanium backup ( if you hv backup before) even under partial root).
The fastest way you can get your phone back to normal is flash hardcore kernel thru pc odin ( don't care about the binary count) and clear partition cache and wipe dalvik cahce ONLY. Then install xtralite rom. Done.
But keep in mind, the above said method won't give you full root.

cheers, im thinking to follow dr ketans method, seems like the safest way.

my note stuck at samsung galaxy note gt-n7000 screen

hi,
im using cm10.1 rom (stunner 2) and everything was going well when suddenly the phone restarts and got stuck at the boot screen, i wiped and installed the rom once more everything went well when after a month or so the same thing happends again and today was the third time ...
i took a nandroid backup and will install a new rom, but i just want to know what is happening ? does this has anything to do with soft bricking or anything ?
this time try downloading a fresh copy of the rom and install again..
Are you using up to date ROM if not download updated one and flash its most likely his kernel tweaks which should be better now on new builds
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app
i was using latest rom, the same rom and kernel are on a friend's note and this problem did not happen with him.
this time i downloaded the P.A.C true all in 1 rom, wiped data/factory reset, format system then installed the rom
everything is ok until now but I'll wait and see if this happens again with this rom or not
